transfer earnings
Definition 1
Wages that a worker could earn in an alternate occupation.
Definition 2
Amount of money that a factor of production (capital, labor, land) must earn to prevent being transferred from its present employment to another.

Earnings of any factor of production usually equals its economic rent plus its transfer earnings.
